Asarco Tacoma stack contaminated a hundred square miles...
and the Asarco East Helena stacks? "The EPA said tests showed that an area of about 100 square miles had been affected to some degree by Asarco emissions."

So doesn't this suggest that the Asarco El Paso smelter likely has affected 100 square miles, too? That would be any land (and water) 30 miles out from the Asarco site -- almost clear up to Las Cruces, and definitely throughout Santa Teresa.
So why aren't our environmental regulatory agencies telling us about this in El Paso and Sunland Park? (TCEQ, NMED and the Federal EPA)?
